Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree Chapter 439 - 410: Secrets of Ancient Ages

"The existence of this Emperor is beyond your comprehension. If you seek freedom, answer whatever questions this Emperor asks. As long as you convince , this Emperor can promise to grant you freedom in five hundred years."

Gu Qingyang said calmly.

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin sneered, "Why should this Venerable trust you?"

"Do you currently have any qualification to negotiate?"

Gu Qingyang glanced at the other party, causing Demon Venerable Xuan Yin’s face to stiffen imdiately.

Indeed.

What qualifications does he have to negotiate now?

His current strength is severely depleted, and he is suppressed by the Heavenly Dao Power, unable to even deal with Wu Peng, let alone the unfathomable Gu Qingyang in front of him.

However.

As the dignity of an Ancient Celestial Demon, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin does not want to obey Gu Qingyang’s orders.

But—

Thinking of the seals of past years, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin shivered and promptly lowered his head.

"Fine, this Venerable will trust you this once."

Upon hearing this.

Gu Qingyang smiled faintly, Xuan Yin’s submission was not unexpected to him.

From Xuan Yin’s manner of doing things, it is clear that he is not soone who embraces death fearlessly, nor does he place excessive importance on his own dignity.

If not.

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin would not have fled multiple tis.

Given his ability to kill Blood Transformation Ancestor and Master Gu Ming, even if heavily injured, Gu Qingyang doesn’t believe Xuan Yin lacks the ability to kill Lv Chunyang, or at least Yuan Shendao.

But as it turned out, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin fled in panic.

Thus it can be seen.

He is quite afraid of death.

Fully aware that these Mahayana Stage beings have no chance of killing him, yet unwilling to risk injuring himself and thus weakening his power to be sealed again by other powerful beings.

"Let ask you, what is the origin of the Ancient Celestial Demons?"

Gu Qingyang asked first.

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin seed resigned, answering simply and straightforwardly, "Ancient Celestial Demons hail from the Upper Realm, mbers of the Chaos Race. All Ancient Celestial Demons are powerful, even a newly-born Celestial Demon possesses power at the ninth tier!"

Upper Realm?

Chaos Race?

A gleam of insight flashed in Gu Qingyang’s eyes.

In Xuan Yin’s words lay a wealth of information.

Then.

Gu Qingyang asked again, "What do you an by Upper Realm and Chaos Race?"

"The so-called Upper Realm is a world existing in another dinsional space, where the life level surpasses the existence of this Starry Sky Universe, known in your terms as the legendary immortals.

As for the Chaos Race, it is a general term for the nurous races derived from the Upper Realm, each being extrely powerful, so even born at the tenth tier.

However, such races are rare, yet our Ancient Celestial Demon clan ranks among the top in strength among the Chaos Race."

Finishing, Demon Venerable Xuan Yin boasted unblushingly.

Gu Qingyang asked, "Then the True Martial and Taichu Immortal Court you ntioned, are they also powerful beings of the Upper Realm?"

"No..."

The Demon Venerable Xuan Yin slightly shook his head.

"In the ancient tis of this Starry Sky, the Upper Realm and Starry Sky were interconnected, and powerful beings in the Starry Sky could embark on the Path to Immortality, breaking the ninth-tier limit to transform into immortals.

But upon transformation into immortals, they could choose to go to the Upper Realm or stay in this Starry Sky.

The Taichu Immortal Court was founded by those who beca immortals but were unwilling to enter the Upper Realm, and True Martial was an Emperor of the Taichu Immortal Court."

ntioning True Martial, a clear apprehension was visible on Xuan Yin’s face.

He paused.

Then said solemnly, "True Martial’s strength is imnse. Even during this Venerable’s peak, I was no match for him, ultimately suppressed by him in the Sealing Demon Tower for countless years until now."

"What realm is the True Martial Emperor in?"

"In the battle back then, he had reached the pinnacle of the thirteenth tier. He did not walk the Immortal Dao but the Body Refining Dao, honored as an Emperor due to his status, but more so because of his strength.

For a thirteenth-tier Body Refining realm is known as Emperor!"

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin answered truthfully.

Then.

Gu Qingyang asked several more questions, finally gaining so clarity about the realms beyond the tenth tier.

The so-called Immortal Dao is indeed the cultivation system of immortality.

The tenth tier is called Earth Immortal, the eleventh tier Celestial Immortal, the twelfth True Immortal, and the thirteenth Golden Immortal.

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, in the past, was a peak strong True Immortal, one step away from breaking through to the thirteenth tier of Golden Immortal.

Yet similarly, the Body Refining Dao undergoes different classifications.

The tenth tier Longevity Immortal!

The eleventh tier Celestial Monarch!

The twelfth tier Divine Monarch!

The thirteenth tier Emperor!

The True Martial Emperor ntioned was a pinnacle thirteenth-tier powerhouse.

Pinnacle of the thirteenth tier.

The strength of the True Martial Emperor is evident.

At this thought.

Gu Qingyang asked again, "In the Starry Sky, what is the realm of magic path after breaking through the tenth tier?"

"The magic path is but a minor path. In the Starry Sky, myriad systems coexist, but in the Upper Realm, only the Immortal Dao and Body Refining are deed the Righteous Dao. Other systems can only reach the ninth tier without further advancent possibilities.

Yet, cultivation ends in unity; many from other systems, reaching the pinnacle of the ninth tier, will naturally convert to Body Refining or Immortal Dao to ascend to the tenth tier."

The words of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin made Gu Qingyang montarily silent.

According to what he said, the magic civilization, before the tenth tier, is not inferior to Immortal Dao and Body Refining, but beyond the tenth tier, it has no ground for survival.

However.

These matters are not significant to him.

Not to ntion whether he can deduce a post-tenth-tier magic system cultivation thod, but for now, even few believers are at the ninth tier, thinking of the tenth tier is indeed a bit far.

Then.

Gu Qingyang inquired about other matters, all related to the Taichu Immortal Court and so secrets of the Path to Immortality.

These matters.

Even the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor and Ancient Demon Emperor know little about.

However.

Such secrets an nothing to Xuan Yin, who answered easily.

From the words of Demon Venerable Xuan Yin, Gu Qingyang finally understood what had happened in the Starry Sky’s ancient years.

"Are you saying that in ancient tis, the Upper Realm forces once clashed with the Starry Sky in a war, which led to the downfall of Taichu Immortal Court, and the severance of the Path to Immortality, creating the present situation?"

"Indeed, the war back then engulfed the entire Starry Sky. Had the Path to Immortality not been severed, the existence of all races in the Starry Sky today would remain unknown.

Thus, for you, the severed Path to Immortality is not an entirely bad occurrence."

Demon Venerable Xuan Yin nodded.
